Cathe I need help with starting your workouts....Please!

[cass73]

Hi Cathe, I just recently purchased the basic step series which is for Beb/int. I use to belong to a gym; I only used the weight machines. The step aerobics is new for me and I am looking forward to trying this. I use to do 3 sets of each exercise for my lower body and 2 sets for my upper body and abs. I never have gotten the results that I had hoped for. Can you recommend how I use all these workouts on the tape for maximum results?

I am on weight watchers and I am in the final 14 pounds to go. I walk 4 to 6 days a week and sometimes I walk/run.

Thank You,

Cassandra

Hi Cassandra! Congratulations on your weight loss. By now I am sure you started the rotation that Lindzebird posted (thanks Lindzebird). If you have anymore questions, just let me know

Thank you lindzebird. That is so helpful. How long have you been working out to Cathe's routines?

I'm actually pretty new to Cathe too...discovered her about a year ago, but only actually purchased some DVDs not too long ago. I had to save up...if you decide to do the rotation I would love to hear updates. I just love the fact that Cathe is so down to earth and accomidating to her fans.

Good Luck!
